Those who take pride in all three and refuse to leave the game cling to it, and of those who cling, the poet asks, who has not become destitute? The answer is built into the question. The gambler's pride is the first step of his fall. A man who trusts that the skill of his hand will protect him has already lost his sense.\n\nThe dice fall by chance, not by skill. The pride that supposes it is skill is itself the enchantment. The keepers of gambling halls know this very well and flatter their visitors. Each win seems to the player proof of his talent, yet in the end the owner of the hall always wins. The word \"tarukku\", pride, is very apt: where there is no humility, wisdom does not stay.\n\nIn Hindu thought ahamkara, ego, is among the inner enemies of the mind and leads to downfall. The Bhagavad Gita too counts pride among the demonic qualities. So the couplet teaches the harm of gambling and the harm of arrogance together. No matter how skilled, no one can escape this snare.\n\nThe humble man is therefore the safe man. One who accepts that greater forces move life will not stake the fruit of his daily labour on a game. Good counsel enters only a mind from which pride has gone, and the advice of family and the warning of friends serve only such a man. So the couplet quietly shows that dropping pride is the first way of escaping gambling.","story_title_ta":"\u0bae\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc2\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f

Gaming Hall in Madurai","story_en":"This is an imagined tale, set in Madurai in the season of the Chithirai festival.\n\nIn the year of the Chithirai festival at Madurai, a young man named Ganesan, who had come from another town, watched a dice game in a house near the Meenakshi temple. He marvelled at a man who threw the dice with great skill. \"This is not luck, it is skill of hand,\" his friends told him. He too wished to learn.\n\nWithin weeks Ganesan went to that house every day. He thought again and again about the way his hand threw the dice and grew proud of it. \"I have great talent in this,\" he often told his friends. The old man who ran the game, Manikkam, encouraged him: \"You are skilful, play one more round.\" In every round Ganesan sometimes won and often lost.\n\nIn six months his shop was shut. The money he had saved was gone. His friends left him one by one. One day Manikkam said to him with a smile, \"Son, I have run this hall for thirty years. I have never seen a man win by skill. Only I always win.\"\n\nGanesan thought about those words for a long time. Standing before the shrine of Meenakshi, he prayed, \"Forgive my pride.\" Then he returned to his town and to his old job. Though he lived on a small income, he found peace. He learned from his own life that the man who is proud of his skill ends up with nothing. Later, when he saw young men at the Madurai festival playing dice, he repeated to them the words Manikkam had said. Some mocked him, but one or two felt the pain of truth on his face and left the game.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0bbf \u0b85\u0bae\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b95\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd, \u0b86\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcb \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"In which area of life are you quietly proud of your skill, while chance or someone else is actually setting the odds?","image_prompt":"A young man standing before the Meenakshi temple gopuram at dusk with empty hands, a gaming house with dice and an old keeper smiling behind him, palm-leaf manuscript and Tanjore-painting inspired style, ivory, ochre, copper and deep teal palette, ornate gold border, no text or letters in the image."},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/1137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/verse"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/1137\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2662,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/1137\/revisions\/2662"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/adhigaram\/163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=1137"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=1137"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=1137"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=1137"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=1137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
